All interesting stories, some about more intrusion into our lives under the auspices of "safety" and some stories giving some interesting ideas on how to beat them.

I'll just mention this one good point from the WSJ article above. If we stop running the red lights, the cameras lose money and they go away, that is their achilles heel. I want to encourage everyone to take extra caution at intersections with cameras. Make no rights on reds unless you have a turn arrow. Never try to get through on a yellow. Just wait it out. (Especially if there is a police officer behind you) This will not only create inconvenience and frustration to help drive home the point to others, but alos reduce the revenue strem to the city.

I have often wanted to encourage physical harm to the cameras, but I think this is a more practical way to get them removed from Knoxville.

ck update: REBUTTAL from Cas Walker:

Insert "red light" in place of "supermarket". We gonna beat the hell out of you red light running bastards!

I feel my darker, libertarian/anarchist side brewing up again...oh christ, here we go...

Red light cameras are complete malarkey. I reject the 21st century nanny state that monitors our every move in the world. Individuals should practice resistance to these movements until the government stops putting (our) money into them. Shoot out the cameras, duct tape over the lenses, chop down the camera towers, or "accidentally" hit them with your car...twice.
